I cannot view my Roon Nuc Rock in Windows explorer and can no longer find the attached drive
Describe your network setup
The Roon Nuc Rock is attached by ethernet cable to my TP link router. The Nuc has an SSD with my music library. I can no longer find the Nuc or SSD in file explorer, or when i try to rip a cd to it. I was able to do so recently and had no trouble. Suddenly it is not visible. It does not show under this PC or in network locations. I am logged into the Roon Nuc web interface and it shows no problems. It does show not secure in chrome, in the address bar, but I do not think that is a change. I have a core i7 system with 64gb ram running windows 11. The Nuc has 32gb RAM and is a Nuc 13 Pro.
I just tried that and rebooted. I already had the first setting as recommended, but per the recommendation changed the second setting. No change, I still cant see the Nuc in file explorer. BTW, I also have a QNAP NAS and it never stopped being visible on the network…just the Nuc Rock is invisible.
I think that Roon Labs never added the needed service to make Roon OS show-up in network environment of modern Windows machines. It is also not need to gain access to the share and the instructions in the linked Microsoft guide will only making it work to connect to the share (and not making it visible in network environment of Explorer). How to access the share is described in:
ok…So, I figured…let’s trying ripping a CD, as I put in the ROCK address into Fairstars CD Ripper… worked perfectly… so I put in \Rock into file explorer and it popped right up and now it shows up fine. Very odd…apparently it is not there unless you know it’s there and address it properly.
